OVERVIEW
8 Channel Conventional Zone Panel Module (S792)
The 8 Channel Conventional Zone Panel Module has 8 supervised detection circuits (Class B). If Class A circuits
are needed, they can be made from Class B circuit pairs (1 & 2, 3 &4, 5 & 6, 7 & 8). Each circuit, regardless of
class, can support up to 20 conventional detectors and approved devices. Individual circuits may be configured
for trigger resistor or short circuit activation. These circuits may be used for any of the standard input actions and
can be configured to contribute to cause and effect logic.
Detector models from Apollo, Hochiki, and System Sensor are compatible for use on these Initiating Device
Circuits. All detectors on a given circuit must be from the same manufacturer. Detectors from these
manufacturers can be mixed between separate circuits as long as each contains detectors from a single
manufacturer.

INSTALLATION
This section provides instructions for connecting cables, mounting, and testing the 8 Channel ConventionalZone
Panel Module for installation.
qUsing Loop Explorer 2, add the panel module to the existing configuration and configure it as required for the
system. For detailed information on the configuration settings, refer to the Configuration section.
qNotify the monitoring center and location security that the Taktis Fire Alarm ControlPanel will be temporarily out of
service.
qRemove the module from its packaging and check its contents.
qSet the address of the module as configured in Loop Explorer 2. Refer to Setting the Address for details.
qDetermine the slot (E or higher) where the panel module will be installed and place the provided sticker label on the
corresponding field terminals.
qConnect field wiring. For class B circuits, install appropriate end-of-line resistors (included with module) after the
last device on each circuit.
qTransfer the new configuration from Loop Explorer 2 into the panel.
qWait for the "Sending configuration to panel" (in LE2) and "Saving configuration" (on the panel) steps to complete.
qRemove AC and battery power from the panel.
qRemove the black plastic cover.
qInstall the module into selected slot on the Main Back Board or an Extension Board of the panel.
qRestore AC and battery power.
qWait for the panel start-up process to complete. Refer to the Taktis Fire Alarm ControlPanel
InstallationManual (MAN-1431KE) for more information.
qTest communication from the panel via the LEDStatus Indicators.
qResolve any troubles related to the new field wiring.
qActivate each circuit and verify that all connected devices function properly.
